[quote=CANADAGUY,252033]>>You are teaching your girlfriend English.So she must be a Chinese? Why don't you try to learn some Chinese? It wiould be better for you to communicate with your gal.<< Yes she is Chinese. I will certainly try to learn Chinese but I know it will be quite a challenge. The good thing is that I'm a musician so I have a good ear and this helps in learning a language. >>By the way, what is your view on the topic( will Chinese become a lingua franca?), I wonder?<< I don't believe so. Unless China starts to flex its muscle power and takes over parts of the world, (which I certainly hope it doesn't) I can't see the language dominating beyond the country of China. Although there are Chinese people all over the world now, there aren't great concentrations large enough to influence world trade/commerce as there is in China. Despite this, China may still pull the purse strings in the coming decades. [/quote]
